Dan Miller examines how the Trump administration is beginning 2026 and what recent policy decisions reveal about its priorities. Dan breaks down the administration’s signature “one big beautiful bill,” its continued unpopularity, and the GOP’s insistence that the problem is messaging rather than substance.
The episode also explores why widely supported policies like ACA subsidies, childcare funding, and disaster relief continue to be undermined, while legislation consistently favors the wealthy. Dan connects these economic choices to the administration’s reliance on culture war distractions, including targeting marginalized communities, rolling back clean energy initiatives, and slashing FEMA support. The throughline, he argues, is a governing vision that withdraws care from ordinary Americans while protecting power and privilege at the top.
